Publisher's Summary
Sam Becker loves—or, okay, likes—his job. Sure, managing a bed-and-bath retailer isn't exactly glamorous, but it's good work, and he gets on well with the band of misfits who keep the store running. He could see himself being content here for the long haul. Too bad, then, that the owner is an infuriating git.
Jonathan Forest should never have hired Sam. It was a sentimental decision, and Jonathan didn't get where he is by following his heart. Determined to set things right, Jonathan orders Sam down to London for a difficult talk…only for a panicking Sam to trip, bump his head, and maybe accidentally imply he doesn't remember anything?
Faking amnesia seemed like a good idea when Sam was afraid he was getting sacked, but now he has to deal with the reality of Jonathan's guilt—as well as the unsettling fact that his surly boss might have a softer side to him. There's an unexpected freedom in getting a second shot at a first impression…but as Sam and Jonathan grow closer, can Sam really bring himself to tell the truth, or will their future be built entirely on one impulsive lie?

The greatest achievement in life is finding someone to love
How do you define success? What would you do for those around you? And how do you connect?
This is a very endearing and uplifting story. It takes you into a journey of people fighting different types of loneliness, and finding themselves and each other at the end.
All the characters are very well developed and absolutely loveable, from the main ones (Sam and Jonathan), to the ones that make a tiny cameo (the feller who would accept Christmas emergency as an excuse), to places and landmarks that feel like characters in their own right (Sheffield). I am not from the UK, but now I know what river not to fight.
The book is full of humour and very wholesome, with laugh out loud sections.
It has romance but you won't end up red-faced if your device accidentally connected to the neighbour's speaker while you were listening (for those who use the ratings, maybe 2 chillies?). If anything, your neighbour may ask you to start from the beginning.
Will Watt did a brilliant job bringing everyone to life. Each character has it's own voice and feeling.
It is not just for the LGBTIQ+ community and allies, but for anyone who wants a feel good story to restore your faith in human kind. Also for those who have a lovable, loud, rowdy and occasionally annoying family. You are not alone in your struggles dealing with them. Cheaper than therapy :)

Super cute!
I listened to the audio book while at work and just couldn’t stop! It was super cute, I loved the main characters and the narrator had a perfect voice for it. The British humour was great and I just really enjoyed it, I loved the characters and everything! Highly recommend 🥰

It’s the Guinea Pig ornament for me!
Always love an Alexis Hall book! Will Watt is amazing as usual but his talent for accents is perfect for this story.
I really enjoyed the humour and shop colleague drama. The main characters challenge each other as they both learn to trust and grow as people. Which I really felt was done right and not rushed.

Cute story with an amazing narrator
Really heartwarming Christmas read! Characters are likeable and relatable especially if you worked in retail. The narrator was amazing and made this audiobook one of my faves

A great addition to the London Calling world
This was great. I love Alexis Hall's way of telling a story, and this fits so well into the London Calling world. A spin on the Scrooge story (well very sort of maybe), with loveable characters, even Johnathan, and a series of situations that get more and more convoluted as they go down the rabbithole of keeping lies. The ending is so fab, and I am very happy for them both.
Narration by Will Watt was perfect. Such a good performance.

charming, witty, moving and stupid. I loved it.
Whilst the premise requires some suspension of disbelief, this romance is more than the sum of its parts. The slow burn between the love interests remains captivating throughout, the characters are pretty well fleshed out and the humour, drama and touchingly human moments had me genuinely entertained. Alex Hall has a particular flavor of romance, and here they have created something special. The performance by Will was believably real, with some distinct, lively characters. 10/10 reccomend.
